Actually the ZPE fluctuation seems to affect the electron almost as much as it does the proton,
causing it to jiggle kind of like the old "tail wags the dog" effect:
Surprisingly the electron momentum ( mv ) is almost equal to the
proton momentum (MV) even though the proton's mass is 1836 times
that of the proton.
For instance, the momentum of the electron mv in the ground state Bohr orbit
is 9.1E-31 x 2.189E6 = 1.99E-24 Kg-meters/sec
while the 300 K "velocity" of the proton from 1/2 MV^2 = kT
Solving for V , V = (kT?M)^1/2 = 1.58E3 meters/sec
MV = 1.66E-27 * 1.58E3 = 2.62E-24 Kg-meters/sec
This tends to square Jones Beene's contention that there is a strong
tie between the 1.42 GHz ZPE (21 cm cosmic background) frequency and the collision frequency
in the 80 Torr 5,400 K effective temperature of the H2 in the MAHG
(0.95 GHz) = velocity/MFP ( H2 Collision Mean Free Path).
If the "jiggle" is an RMS value tracking the ZPE fluctuations,
minor adjustment (increasing the H2 fill pressure) would
bring it dead on.
